Would it be a good idea to buy a motorcycle helmet to wear while riding this, in the name of extra safety?

Yes, absolutely. The Jetson goes faster than a bike, thereby increasing risk, so I wear a motorcycle helmet.

I would say if you wear one when riding a bicycle then you would probably want to wear one with this.

Since the Jetson isn't capable of speeds faster than a bicycle I just wear a bike helmet when riding. I think the top speed other than down a steep hill is 20 mph.

Hi Brian, I've had my scooter/bike for a year and use a full head bicycle helmet. But it can't hurt to get a skull type motorcycle helmet. I JUST LOVE MY JETSON !!!

I would consider your riding conditions ( traffic, city or country ) and your riding skills. Then make your own determination as to which helmet would better serve your needs.

Probably not the best Idea for motorcycle. The eye openings are perforated for use with airsoft guns. Your visibility will be diminished. Might be able to remove the perforated pieces. Not sure how it would handle high speeds. The straps used to hold it on are elastic and are adjustable. It does sit off your face a bit so wind could catch it and pull it off.

Theoretically... Affirmative. Personally I would opt for the much safer American Football Helmet given that the "Face Cage" actually offers other benefits such as abundant Breath-ability and a superior "Field-of-View" while protecting one's Nasal Cavities not to mention the glorious Cranial Padding that will minimize Concussions that have recently been linked to "Drain Bamage" and early onset Dementia in the New England Journal of Medicine's "Peer-Reviewed" studies.Note: For all the Amazonian "Scholars" that continually flood these forums with their "Rapier Wit" the above is something "We Simple Folk" refer to as SARCASM.

I agree with the previous comment that it is recommended and would say that you need to use your own best judgement. When I bought the trailer, I also bought a helmet and am a very cautious dad. The thing is that I can't get my son to wear the helmet no matter what I try. He absolutely hates it. This has not, however, prevented me from using the trailer. I agree that the harness is well built and still feel quite safe when out and about. I did by a larger caution flag so the trailer is very noticeable.

The face hugging design and the seal would make this good for higher wind applications. The lens are impact resistant so in that case, why not. The issue would be helmet clearance. Since the lens surrounds the eye to create a seal contact, top and side clearances based on your helmet design would be critical factors. If you purchases and they don't fit with your helmet, you would still have a great pair of safety glasses.

Yes the is a safety, and I do recommend the holster, be carful on the reload it can go off in your face.

Much more likely you will get headaches if you don't! I find the helmet is comfortable, with great noise and face protection - I can wear it for hours without any problem.

you could go with the small and just ensure that the helmet is tightened down as far as it can be for max protection

Yes ... The helmet runs a little big, and you want it to fit slightly snug anyway. I would suggest purchasing the Large.

Absolutely NOT! This helmet is plastic, meant for paintball and airsoft ONLY. This piece will not save your life. Also, if you have a small head, you will have a hard time fitting into this.

I never thought about using a helmet. I used elbow pads and knee pads because my daughter fell off the curb on her first try. She quickly learned to control the trike. I am over protective so if I am thinking about a helmet then I would use it...better safe than sorry.

Sure. Helmets made for equestrian use cover more of the head's surface, so they are actually better than bike-riding helmets. Just don't wear a bicycle helmet while riding a horse.

Hard to say. I have regular head. If too big, but then you could use some padding. thats what you can also do with helmets 9and that's what people do).

I also ride a motorcycle and I think It would be fine with or without a windscreen.

I think you can buy some sort of attachment and affix it to your helmet ... or wear clear glasses which keeps you safe from debris and bugs.

I would look for another option like something designed for a helmet. Some of these comments made me laugh--funny:)

Not really. There is plenty of place to get hit. This armor is designed to protect parts like shoulder, chest, spine and elbows that usually get hurt in a motorcycle accident.
